Vibration, fatigue and the output shaft snaps off....

As for me, my current favorite throttle servo is a Hitec 7985. Digital, MG, high resolution, programmable and pretty damn fast. Works great on the gassers.
Yep they are gaz powered plane, the corsair have a Evolution 58GX2 and the mustang have an DA50, the Corsair is 8 years old, still the same servo for the throttle
It's not only for the throttle, thay are in both plane for the ailerons
